The Summit County Prosecutor’s Office Starts By Believing. Did you know that victims/survivors typically disclose to friends or family first? If your reaction to survivors of sexual assault comes from a place of belief and support rather than doubt or blame, victims/survivors will be more likely to seek help and report what happened to them. Your reaction makes a difference! Join Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh in supporting survivors of sexual assault and Start by Believing.
